19,364 Season Tickets -- Montana -- So Far [Archive]

Thats ridiculous. 1,000 dollars. Preposterous

They are Club Level seats. Similar to private luxury boxes (there's 48 of those) that sell for $20,000 a season for 10 people or $2000 each. There are two levels of Club membership $1500 and $1000. The Club level gets catered food and alcoholic beverages served as well as other bennies. It's all exclusive and private and the "uppity ups" love that kind of thing.

how many 1 game tickets are available for the season, after the season tix and student passes are used?

The article says there were 1,050 tickets set aside for single game sales. Those tickets sold out within hours when they went a sale a week ago.

Demand obviously remains very high. A new season and the new stadium expansion have generated considerable excitement.

The stated reason UM opted for 2,000 new seats (and the stadium club)-- instead of 4,000 seats--was because the student body turned down a higher student fee increase. The higher fee increase would have been an important part of the financing plan, and would have given students more seats. Student seats are free.

The good news for those without tickets is that there are usually tickets floating around, because every season ticket holder can't attend all games. Note that a large percentage of the ticket holders come from areas outside of the greater Missoula area, thus having to drive 1 to 5 hours or more to get to Missoula. I have heard figures of 40%, 50% and even 60%, but I don't know whether any of those are accurate.

Congrats to all the Griz on this.

McGuirk doesn't have as many seats as you have season ticket holders. And that only fills up for graduation.

Same here furmie, I have a couple of different boxes at the stadium that we go visit during halftime once in a while but I always go and watch the game from the stands where my season tickets are. It's nice to be able to go use the private bathroom and get a beer though if you want one but I couldn't watch a game from inside there unless I had to.

Not really.

Most of the people buying these tickets are the kind of people that you ask at the end of the game who won and they have no clue. They are there to be seen, (hey look at me I own a business in Missoula) and for the party. For the most part they are the fairest of the fair weather fans. If the Griz ever started out with back to back losses they wouldn't show for the third game.

Front runners and band wagoners..............but that's not news to G-String26 he hopped on around 94 and continues until something better comes along.

Let's see...pay $2,500 (or more) to park at the stadium...or pay $2,000 for a couple of premium seats, use the leftover $500 to get a parking deck pass.

I'd do it in a heartbeat if I had the cash.

Alpha if they don't care who wins and are just there for the party and to be seen then why would they care or know if the Griz dropped the first two games of the season?

In 1992 we started the season 1-5 and there was no noticeable drop off in attendance that year so I'm not sure if your statement is completely true buy it may have some merit with the crowd you speak of but there are quite a few fans of the group that is there that would still go to the games. I do get sick and tired of the some of the new fans from the last 10-12 years that act as if having the Griz colors on and a good box seat makes them something special though so I can see the frustration part of it as well. I have watched every game the Griz have ever played in Wa-Griz so I'm not one of the latter.

I know what you're talking about but I don't think it would be a real significant number. I never want to see the Griz lose but if they do have a bad season along the way it will have the silver lining of getting some of the *****bags back to their pottery classes where they belong.

Griz nation represents proudly! And the statistic given on Out of town Season Ticket holders is closer to 45%. My parents have traveled to Griz games from Helena for 10 years with a caravan of 5. We love our griz.

That wine-and-cheese, fairweather attitude really detracts from Carolina Panthers games. I hope that changes over time b/c I love the Panthers.

Anyway, at least the club seats are up away from the rowdier part of the crowd. These days, there are luxury & club boxes everywhere--even at previously lower budget FCS schools! But I don't blame Montana for putting them in there. If those folks want to pay that much, Montana should be glad to take their money.

Where it becomes a problem is when the regular joe can't afford tickets for the regular seats anymore. Down the road from where I live, that football powerhouse Purdue, with its amazing 7-5 records xnutsx , they charge $46 per ticket. That's for ordinary, end-zone seats! Season tickets are about $320 per person. Now that, friends, is preposterous!

One ticket in the South end zone at Wa Griz is 215.00. Lowest price ticket in the place for season ticket holders.

That is very sad. Season tickets for the griz go for $215...and considering the show that goes on, it's pretty reasonable. But the $1,000 for luxury boxes is dumb because I would rather be in the game. Experience the intensity and loudness. Difference of opinions however

I don't see any difference of opinion. I'd much rather be in the stands with people who scream, too, but if my alma mater can get thousands of bucks off rich alumni/local business owners who pay for luxury suites, then good! I wouldn't enjoy luxury suites, but I'm glad App is gonna make money off the uppities who are willing/able to pay for 'em. That money can go towards scholarships, better facilities, etc.

I think I'd rather be out in the elements, among some semi-rowdy fans myself. Don't know that I'd go for the $1,000 season tickets, but I do think it's better to pay for better seats than a better parking space, if given the choice.

I've seen games at Kidd-Brewer from all over. I've been in the press box. I've been on the sidelines. I've been in the Chancelor's box. I've been in the old East Side VIP area. I've been down with the students (a while back as a student and as recently as last year). I've been on the hill. Never watched from the field house.

My absolute favorite place, though, is the very back/top row of, say, section 4A, pacing back and forth nervously.

(Now that I think about it...I really hope the folks in the new East side upper deck aren't into actually sitting down during the game.)

I believe the $1,000 and $1500 tickets have two components: the cost of the ticket and some amount donated to UM, presumably the GSA. Thus, a good chunk of the cost, i.e. the donation portion, is tax deductible. I think this is about 60% of the cost of the $1,000 ticket. Thus, the actual out-of-pocket cost after taxes is less.

I agree that anyone who watches games from a box is a bad person.

I do not that that "anyone who watches games from a box is a bad person." I know that if my wife had not died a few years ago, she would have loved it. She enjoyed watching the games, but taking so long to get to the restroom and/or concessions, and walking back with all that stuff in hand was somethings trying. Would be great to pop up, go to the restroom and grab a concession or have one brought to you. If you are into the game it doesn't matter where you sit, just may make other things nicer.
May make some people come to the game when their spouses do not want to a lot more....

The avg. price per game is $31/game Griza and I'm pretty sure the Griz/Cat ticked is right around $50. I'd have to go and get the tickets to look but I think I'm close. You'll notice a price drop in the playoffs though.

Wow!!! I wonder what you think of people who don't even go to a football game. Does that make them the devil?

Let me try to be clear once more: I HAVE NO INTEREST IN SITTING IN A LUXURY BOX FOR A GAME. I think they're silly. I want to be in the action with the crowd in a group of friends. I prefer to stand for the whole game.

BUT... luxury boxes are a big money maker for the university. The people who choose to buy spots in those boxes effectively fund scholarships, coaches' salaries, new facilities, travel costs for the teams, etc. I think sitting in a luxury box is unappealing, but I'm grateful they're there. In this day and age, it provides a source of income necessary to help keep teams ahead. Coaches' salaries are rapidly increasing. There has to be something to fund them or schools will get left behind with coaches not qualified enough to command more.

Besides, with the people up in boxes, any snotty attitudes they may exude won't be imposed where the main crowd is.

Is it really $50? Has it always been that expensive? I never look at the prices I guess, but we've had season tickets for years and years. I wouldn't doubt them being that high, but I didn't believe they were.

That's what I thought until I made a visit to one of the Sky boxes at Neyland Stadium here in Knoxville (not for a game, I am a lowly grad student after all), holy crap! The view of the field was ridiculous and they have some open air ones so you get full noise experience. Now I don't know what they are like at other stadiums but definitely looked like it would be worth the money on game day, if you can afford it. For now I'll stick with the students section at App, UT, and else where, but if I got offered a free ticket I certainly would not turn it down.

$215... geez some of our fans in Boone complained about $160 for 6 games this year! $10 of that $160 was to help pay for construction on the stadium. I think our fans are getting their moneys worth at $27 (including $10 Fee) per game.

We only have around 8,300 right now and we still have piles and piles of single game tix to sell throughout the season. I'm jealous!! Congrats you guys!!xthumbsupx

Now go to the WAC!!!xrotatehx

The new pictures posted by elk on egriz are truly phenomenal and are very impressive.

The down side of a dome is difficulty of expansion and the cost. Students are very picky about their fees, and it stopped a 4,000 seat expansion at Wa/Griz.

There is only one thing Griz fans like more than winning and that is the team itself.

Moving up would really cause drastic changes. And would get us no where. I do not like BCS football and the rigged system of the "champoinship" game.

I'm not for a move up either. The playoffs and the chance of making them is such an exciting time of year. We've had the chance to see so many great FCS teams come in for the playoffs and it's a special thing to me that couldn't be duplicated in a move up. The teams and fans that I have gotten to meet in the past 20 years would never happen with the move up. A lot of real venerable teams from out division like Delaware, McNeese, SHSU, UMass, Richmond, Georgia Southern, App. State, SIU, UNI, WIU, Nichols St., Troy St., Youngstown State, Eastern Ill., E. Kentucky, Northwestern State, New Hampshire, Jackson State, Stephen F. Austin, and Wofford. Playoff time is nothing but butterflies and beer and good times. I look forward to seeing new and old teams that I've seen before because there is something really special about being in a tourney with the top 16 in the nation at the end of every year. we would never get those opportunities at the FBS level.

Your response shows just what a country bumkin you are about college football.

Cal Poly lost to the worst team the WAC has had in 20 years last season. Idaho went 1-11 with their one win against the #5 team in FCS. Face it guys it's little league football and smacking the WAC makes you look dumb.

Your response shows just what a country bumkin you are about college football.

Cal Poly lost to the worst team the WAC has had in 20 years last season. Idaho went 1-11 with their one win against the #5 team in FCS. Face it guys it's little league football and smacking the WAC makes you look dumb.

Neither of were smacking the WAC. We said you were choosing the worst of this years schedule to go against the top of a possible WAC schedule. If and when the AD thinks a move up is a good idea then we'll all go along due to our power to do nothing about it. Until then we will all go along with the decision to stay where we are due to the same reasons. It's not my job to make the decision so I'm gonna go ahead and enjoy what's in front of me now.

I guess the nice thing about the boxs is you don't have to sit in the 20 below weather and watch the game.

There is more to it than making the playoffs and winning the BSC for umpteen million times in a row.

Put a quality product on the field for God's sake.

UM vs. SUU
UM vs. Central Washington
UM vs. UNC
UM vs. Sac State

Crappy low quality product.

--------------------------------

UM vs. Washington State
UM vs. Hawaii
UM vs. Boise State
UM vs. Fresno State
UM vs. Utah

Excellent product.

4-0 Crappy product
0-5 Excellent product

With the current coaching staff we would NEVER win a game in the WAC or any other conference. They barely eake out wins now with a great recruiting advantage and excellent facilities.

You move up and this program wishes it was Idaho in all it's suckdom.

mmm...now we're starting the Hauck bashing? As far as I can tell, winning is winning. And I personally agree with the constant substitutions that Hauck bases his game plan on. Hauck has an amazing record...championship or not.

The hoopla around Griz football is a great thing, it is just too bad they keep scheduling the Fort Lewis's and CWU's of the world. Instead of doling out 215 a pop to see the Griz sched this year, I doled out 250 a pop to see Oregon, USC, Cal, Arizona, and UW play at Wazzu. I am not turning my back on Griz football, I just decided to spend my money to watch some quality football this year.
